PUPPY POSE
PUPPY POSE
A stretch borrowed from yoga, and a personal favourite of mine, when I've been standing or sitting for long periods of time.
It "lengthens" your spine, stretches the lower back and "lifts" the mid-back. Particularly useful if you have a "deep" lordosis (pronounced backward arch in the lower back) or a strong kyphosis (tendency to "slouch" or bend forward in the mid-back), which can sometimes happen if you spend a lot of time at a computer. (Click here for tips and tricks on how to adjust your work station optimally)
Pay attention to the placement of your elbows, as this is the key to success with this one. If the elbows are too close to your knees, you'll end up in child's pose. If they are too far away from the knees, you won't have much traction through the spine to lengthen your back.
